Hi all,
My hubby has MS and for the first time we are going on a plane with his wheelchair and incontience pads. We wiil be there in Jamaica for 2 weeks.
Could you let me know the best way to pack the pads for travelling. We are allowed 2 suitcase weighing 23kg each.

Thanks

I don't know of any other way to answer this.......

Put them in the Damn Suitcase........
When you buy them, the're folded about as tight and compact as they can get.......
Or the ones we buy are........

I have kids in nappies so I find I take loads of nappies everywhere! Instead of keeping them in the packs I take them out of the wrapper then lay them out flat in the suitcase, a layer of nappies a layer of clothes. I find this works really well and means I can alwsy squeeze extras in. Also your bags are lighter coming home. Give it a try, Im sure it will work.

Hi there,
Thanks for this it sure does help when you have someone who has done it before. And you are right if we do it correctly we will have enough the trip and a lighter case on our return..More goodies to bring home.
